Dangerous Lady by Amanda Scott

This book highlights an era in an exceptional way by teaching laws as well as manners. The series would interest people from high school readers to very sophisticated readers.

Another winner from Amanda Scott!

I fell in love with heroine Letty and her monkey when she first appeared at the age of ten in an earlier book. With her inimitable style, Amanda Scott has taken self-sufficient, outspoken Letty and placed her in what was already growing to be the stultifying atmosphere of Victoria's court. It's no wonder that Letty is not a success; even if she hadn't come from a prominent Tory family, she was still unlikely to be the model of the demure Victorian woman. In Viscount Raventhorpe, though, Letty meets her match, and Raventhorpe his. Pair a man who insists he knows best for everybody around him with a woman who won't take advice--no matter how warranted--from anybody, and you have a highly combustible mixture. As always, Amanda Scott kept me reading to the very last page!

A great series just gets better

In 1839 London, the will of Mr. August Benthall left several individuals in shock. Most of the estate went to his nephew Lord Justin Raventhorpe. Justin's father expected the estate to end up in his hands via his spouse. He is irate with his wife's deceased cousin. Even more surprising is that an expensive estate on Mayfair was given to a non family member, Lady Letitia Deverill. No one seems to know why, including Letitia, August would do such a deed.Letitia is a Lady in waiting to Queen Victoria. Everyone at court ignores her because she is the token Tory while everyone else is a Whig. Justin happens to be a Lord in Waiting to Her Majesty. As he and Letitia come into contact with one another, an attraction grows even though neither welcomes it. However, when Letitia's monkey finds the secret behind her inheritance, the Tory turns to Justin for help because Her Royal Highness may be in jeopardy.Amanda "the Great" Scott demonstrates why she is a best selling historical romance author with her awesome latest novel, DANGEROUS LADY. The crisp story line is fast-paced and provides her audience with a wonderful glimpse into the early days of Victoria's reign. The characters are warm, witty, and wonderful with the treasured return of an adult Letitia (see DANGEROUS ANGELS). Just like her tremendous "Highland" and "Dangerous" trilogies, Ms. Scott brilliantly enflames the passions of love in a world engulfed by treacherous conspiracy.Harriet Klausner
